Wonder Walls 2026 for Cruinniú na nÓg invites young people aged 13–18 to take part in a bold, hands-on street art experience as part of a nationwide celebration of creativity. 

Across two artist-led workshops, participants will collaborate to design and create a large-scale mural, building real spray-paint skills and working as a creative team. This year, each location will also contribute to a special national artwork piece, connecting young people across Ireland in one shared creative moment on Cruinniú na nÓg. 

The same group will attend both workshop dates, so availability for all sessions is essential. If you don’t secure a workshop place, don’t worry, you can join us on June 6th for open drop-in sessions and be part of the action! 

Wonder Walls is delivered by The Walls Project, the team behind the Waterford Walls Street Art Festival, and funded by Creative Ireland.

A day of free creativity for children and young people

Ireland is the first, and only, country in the world to have a national day of free creativity for children and young people under 18. Cruinniú na nÓg is a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme’s Creative Youth Plan to enable the creative potential of children and young people. The inaugural Cruinniú na nÓg took place on 23rd June 2018 and for the past number of years, including under exceptional circumstances in 2020, young people and families have come together to enjoy, a wide range of creative activities including workshops and tutorials to recitals and readings in every city, town and village across the country. Delivered in partnership with the 31 Local Authorities and supported by RTÉ, you are invited to participate in a programme of fun, free, creative activities; from graffiti art workshops to stop-motion animation, to coding and architecture workshops! cruinniu.gov.ie

We  look forward to welcoming you to Siamsa Tíre Theatre and Arts Centre.
